I was trying to update my Xperia Mini Pro to Android 4 ICS through PC Companion software.
While it was installing the new version of Android, PC Companion showed me an error (code 100, see image below), stopped the process and from then the phone can't be turn on again. It only shows the "Sony Ericsson" logo and, after it, an error screen with an exclamation mark and it turn off.
I have tried the update process again in PC Companion, but it always show me the same error (code 100) as the first time.
I have tried the "repair phone" mode in PC Companion too, but the error it's the same. Both softwares, PC Companion and Update Services, fail at the same point.
i would like to report an error, I try to update my cell phone (Xperia Mini Pro) and shows a error. The error is number: 0x80004005. I've alredy manually downloaded the update and installed, but the error still shows up.
Now I have Android 1.6 on my new X10 mini pro.Tried update to 2.1 via Support Zone and stuck on step 2 with error:"Software update didn't finished successfully because of error.Try again or ask for support of sony ericsson here: www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/phones"p.s.: I also can't sync phone with google, can't set up default email-cleint, can't login facebook (i've checked password on PC and it's correct).
I've been having problems with my phone recently, it doesn't recieve some text messages or show my missed calls. A friend suggested that it may just need updating, which made sense because I'd been getting update notifications, just hadn't got round to hooking my ohone up to my laptop. So I did just that and installed the 'companion' but when I try to update, it's asking me to insert a memory card. I've never taken it out! Not once. So i've turned the phone off and on again, as you do.
I just updated my Xperia Mini Pro, but after the update, a) new text messages appear at the bottom of the list of texts (so annoying!) and b) the newest text message does not appear on the list when I reply to it.Is this a bug? I really don't think it's a feature.
Just wanted to share my experience. I did the update on November 8. I didn't bother to do the backup. The only real important is the contacts and Google have them already. I used the Update Service tool and it worked like a charm. After restarting the phone I had to go through the setup wizard, which by the way is much improved. I now realized that I had lost all my downloaded applications. I downloaded them again from market. Most of them had all the old data, nice. Some games lost all history, no big deal really. My contacts, mail and calendar was downloaded from Google.
I realy like the fact that it is possible to send contacts by SMS. The images from facebook also works very well.
The one thing that I am still not used to is the unlooking. The habbit of pressing the menu button twice is had to kick. I think the new way with the slider is somewhat safer.Now I am waiting 2.2 with tethering. I hope this will be available for X10 mini some time in the future.
I updated my Nokia N97 Mini to version 30.0.004 using OVI Suite. Now the phone is unusable. I can only see half the screen and lines keep moving across the screen. Some touches are responsive, but I am unable to use the phone. I have tried a hard reset but that doesnt work. Please help me re-install or downgrade the software.
I just upgraded my mini pro to ICS, it works fine in the first few moments until I realized that my phone can't:
1. Show any album art/cover from the music player. I've tried using the Sony Media Go to add the album arts to the file properties, still it didn't work. Only the 'default' songs from the product i.e brett5000: Globalization, missquerada: Far from love, and 2 others, can display their album cover
2. Update songs. Any new songs that I put into my phone through Sony Media Go aren't shown in the music player, only the old ones are present (though I've deleted it). I found the files when I opened it using a file manager program from the Play Store, but when I played it, none of its properties are present except the title of the song itself. It's not even present in the music player
I received a message on my XPeria Mini Pro about the 4.1.B.0.587 Update. In fact, I can not install it. When I start the PC Companion software, it finds the connected Phone. Then I click on update. In the following window I click "Accept" and then the software should prepare the PC for the update. But after one second it stops and returns to Start without any comment. When I start Sony Mobile Update Service then it checks for new updates. As soon as the check is over, the program terminates without any comment. Is there a third way to upgrade?

how to get rid of this ICS update and update into the old android version. I am having some serious problems whith my phone after ICS update (physical keyboard not working, problems in adding phone contacts, reboots after every app close, acting slow).
When u search for software update in phone it says "you have the latest software and applications from sony ericsson. your phone is up to date." At present my android version is 2.3.4 and build number is 4.0.2.A.0.62. But when you download pc campanion it says "New Phone software version available (4.1.B.0.431)"After carrying out a software upgrade, note that:Android 4.0's hardware requirements are more advanced than previous software updates, so your phone's performance may be affected.Our commitment to offering you the best, means that once upgraded you will not be able to revert back to an older version of Android.To optimize your phone's performance, some applications may have been disabled and will not be visible on your screen. A new installed application called 'Performance Assistant' will help you enable these apps. Please also note that some 3rd party applications may not be compatible with Android 4.0. Please visit Google Play's marketplace to view apps that are compatible with Android 4.0 or contact the 3rd party developers directly for support.Flash support will be disabled, but this can be easily fixed by visiting Google Play's marketplace and downloading the latest available Adobe Flash player application. But when u find SI (Sales Item) released software table the software for xperia mini SI is 1248-9517 is released and available in PC Campanion where it can update for xperaia mini.
Q1] why it is not showing update available when try to update from phone? Is it not fully released/ not compatible/ any bug/error ?
Q2] If i update to Ice Cream Sandwich and if any problem occurs then can i revert back to an old version of android i.e gingerbread.?
For a while now ive been having problems with my email on my mini pro, i have my hotmail email account linked to my device and set as my default however just recently every now and then for no apparent reason and without warning my emails stop coming in and i have to perform a battery pull to get them to start working again, sometimes i have to do this twice as the first time, when i go back into my inbox, it says 'network error, unable to connect to server' ive checked my incoming mail settings and everything looks fine and there doesnt seem to be any pattern to it it just happens every month.
I recently upgraded my Facebook app to the 2.1 version, so I am happy to say I can now upload You Tube clips (even though I never got to use the "Check In" section of FB), buy hey ho. My new gripe is that since upgrading, I now can't edit my profile, or add friends.....when I go to add a friend, I get the following error message: "Cannot fetch the user data at this time. Please try again later. [Unexpected end of json input]". Oh, and it doesn't let me "try again later", as I just get the same message.

I bought my phone a week ago (xperia mini pro sk17i), It offers me an update option (4.0.2.A.0.62), I used PC companion, I crossed first two steps and when it starts to update it said error, i tried 5 times, followed the instruction but every time its the same.
I connected my phone to my laptop using the usb cable, just wanted to copy pictures etc as per usual. PC companion said there was an update, followed the instructions including holding the back button down while reconnecting the cable. Halfway through updating there was an error, and laptop and phone both froze. Laptop is working now (after force shutting down by taking out the battery), but phone is neither on/off, instead there is just a flashing error signal of an exclamation mark ! inside a triangle, next to a graphic of the phone.I've tried restarting the phone, charging the phone, pressing both the on & home key, and taking out battery and sim card... nothing has worked!
I had previously set up my mini pro to sync with my company's exchange server, first when it was running 2.4, and maintained the data when I upgraded to ICS.
It stopped working last week, so I erased the data and thought I could re-configure it again. However, no matter how many times I input the various settings, it still won't create the account.
Is this an inherent problem with ICS running on mini pros? Or is the manufacturer pushing me towards the bundled Moxier Pro app?
I get the above message when powering on my X10 mini pro
The full error message is
Sorry! The application Setup guide(process com.sonyericsson.setupwizard) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
I have tried a reset as well as removing the battery but get this message every time. The message just loops each time it is cancelled. This stops the phone from connecting via usb to a pc. It looks like the phone is corrupted and needs to be returned for repair.
Before I do so is there anything obvious I should try? The phone is running android 2.1
I am currently using a Experia mini pro U20i. My phone dont want update nor download any applications from Android market but I can access my web browsers(internet working perfectly). When trying to download it gives the following error massage "Download was unsuccessful, please try again" I have check the internet settings and even requested my network providers to send me thier setting but didnt succeed, and my software is even updated.
i watched the video on Internet on how to upgrade x10 mini 1.6 to 2.1. it says that i should download the new pc companion on my pc but when i downloaded it never works. nothing appears on the window except the minimize and the close button...
i have tried and tried to update my phone through pc companion but all it keeps saying is my phone is up to date, i have been notified an update is available to 2.1, so then i tried update service but no luck there either, it just comes up an unexpected error and shuts down everytime?
I have Sony Xperia mini St15i, I read the website sonymobile.com the latest version for my phone is available, but when you install PC Companion 2.1 also connect the phone to the computer reports that:
you have the latest version for your phone.But my phone I have version 2.3.4.How can I update my phone to 4.0.4 ICS.
Many of the reviews say that after the update to ICS, the led is not working. Is this the same for all the users? Will Sony Fix this problem with the future update?
My PC Companion is showing ICS update for my Xperia Mini but I'm unable to do so. My computer hangs as soon as I connect the phone by pressing the volume down key in second step.
